Default Was Honus Wagner really against tobacco ?
Posted By: JimB

Max,
It is the October 24th, 1912 issue.

By the way I made a mistake about the offered payment. I do not know what Wagner was offered, but the sportswriter who was sent to get Wagner's approval was offered $10 commission for his agreement. Not wanting the sportswriter to be adversly affected, Wagner sent him a $10 check to compensate for the $10 commission he would not be getting from ATC.
